igan is enjoyed by The Detroit Free

years ago, its career has been one Of
uninterrupted success.
The history of the Free Press is the
history of Michigan. Published while

to, and identified with, the advance
ment of the states best interests; it
has grown with its growth and shared

claims the right to add to the glory OF
being the oldest, the even more hon
orable title of being the best paper
the best for the merchant, mechanic,
farmer, the best for the family, and
when quantity and quality Of matter
is considered, beyond question the
cheapest.
In the daily is published in COM
pact readable form, in addition to its
own special dispatches, all the asso-
ciated press news, quotations of the
produce, stock and money markets
congressional, legislative and state
news, and all the news of the world,
besides splendid selection of cur
rent literary matter. The Free Press
is issued every day in the year,
pages daily, II to Is pages Sunday
and is delivered by local agents in all
the cities and towns in the State that
can be reached ON the day of publ
cation. The price is Is cents week

for 60 cents month or 81 year.

The Gulf Stream.

The great current of the ocean
known as the Gulf Stream, issues
from the Gulf of Mexico through the
narrow strait between the main
land Of Florida and the Bahama
Banks, and extends in northerly
and easterly course, parallel to the
coast of the United States to the vi
cinity of Nantucket Shoals. Here
its course changes more to the east
ward, extending quite across the
North Atlantic in the direction of the
British Islands, a portion of the
stream penetrating far into the Artic
seas of Northern Europe.
The edge Of the stream next to the
Atlantic Coast is we'll defined, the sep
aration Of the warm waters of the
stream from the cold waters of the
counter current from Baffin's Bay,
which skirt the coast of North Amer
sea, being we'll marked. The outer
edge, on the other hand, is not SO we'll
defined. on account of the overflow or
dispersion of the waters on the east.
ern limits. The width of the stream
between Cape Florida and the island
of Bimini is less than 40 miles, but
Piso's Cure for Consumption, being a
certain remedy for this worst Of hui
man ailments, must of necessity be
the best remedy for coughs and dis
eases of the throat, which, if neglect
ed, too often end fatally. Sold by all
druggists. 25 cents.
its breadth gradually increases as it
flows onward, being estimated at 400
miles on a line for the island of Ber-
muda to Halifax. This great ocean
current forms but part of the gen.
eral system of circulation of the wa
tiers of the globe, although it is Undue
ed chiefly, without doubt, by the trade
winds of the equatorial regions of the
Atlantic which blow continually to-
wards this continent.

Picture OF Room which Will BE Recog.
nized by Many Gray-Beards.
1t is generally somewhat detached
from the remainder Of the house, a
hall dividing it from the sitting-room.
The blinds and windows are tightly
shut and the dark shades pulled down,
and Us you pause in the doorway the
atmosphere chills even i'm midsummer,
and the dim light through which you
see the ghostly folds of the lace cur
tains makes you feel that you are en-
tering solemn place. Here you will
find IA Brussels carpet on whose dark
ground are strewn roses and pinks
modelled after those which might have
furnished fragrance to the inhabitants
of Brobdignag. There are sofa and
chairs of hair-cloth which have not yet
acquired the individuality which even
furniture gains from being set in fami-
lies, but look just as little ut home as
they did in the rooms of the dealer in
the neighboring city. There is table
with marble top, reminding one of a
grave stone, whereon is a lamp with
sparkling pendants, set on a dainty
mat of shaded green. and few books
placed at proper angles.
On one of the walls is hair wreath,
"madc by Emmeline." Opposite hangs
a portrait of lady with face which
reminds one of Martha Washington.
Her plump throat is cncirclcd by
string of gold beads, which now are
treasured in bureau drawer Of the
spare chamber as u precious heirloom.
As a companion piece to this is the por-
trait of u gaunt, stern-looking man,
who holds a tuning fork to the ear of
sixtecn-year-old boy. In an outlandish
costume. Neither from the expression
or the position of either can one deter
mine whether the elder is inclined to
amuse or indict corporal punishment,
but the family tradition explains that
the vision of childish innocence is an
early picture of the master of the house;
that the elderly couple are his parents,
he being u child of their old age, that
the worthy gentleman was singing
master of much local rcputc, and that
this was happy thought of the artist
TO suggest his f,voritc pursuits. The
lines were evidently not traced by
pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds or Glib rrt
Stuart: the cyes are never detected in
following you about the room; they are,
nevertheless, very interesting.
On another side is u group OF hall
dozen family photographs in round gilt
frames, and between the windows a
long mirror with frame much too mass
i've for the low ceiling above it. On
the mantel are pair of ancient silver
candlesticks, each holding pair OF
wax candles. When the four used to
be lighted at once, the youngc' mcm-
bers looked on with feelings akin to
those with which they now regard as
Presidential illumination. Besides,
there are vase of dried grasses,
piece ofiron ore, q gift cup and u basket
made of sawed butternut shells. heapcd
with wedding invitations. Good House
Keeping.

I'VE seen her gnzo, like some rapt worshiper
Upon the moonlit sky or sunset sea.

grandfather, she came out at the end
of the year one of the brightest, hap
piest girls in the school.
There were outbreaks Of mischief
now and then. As the old man roared
to the teacher one day, "She couldn't
be tanned all at once;" but this little
girl had at last found the golden key.
And so, in Frightening the lives of the
unhappy, and in making sunshine for
all, Becky became, in time, lady in
every sense of that misused term.
